Andy Stanley, Unconditional Conference, and Pope Francis: Christianity's Sexuality Crisis Evaluation

Some recent events serve as the perfect case study of the sexual identity crisis I've been warning about for years: the Unconditional Conference for parents of LGBTQ-identified children at Andy Stanley's Northpoint Community Church, and the mixed messaging from Pope Francis regarding homosexuality. Let's look at both so we can see why the church desperately needs an adequate anthropology and understanding of sexuality and guidance from the transformational approach.
